I think its the wrong move, but some of these QBs are getting absurd contracts that are fukking it up for others. Unless you have a prime Rodgers and Brady, Mahomes, and even a Burrow, you shouldn't be giving a large chunk of your salary cap to one position. The guy you give the money to has be a guy that can carry a franchise and not who you hope can carry a franchise.
I've always thought the player's union should've fought for some kind of cap on QB salaries or some maximum percentage of the cap that the salary can count towards the cap. Try and free up cap room for other positions.

Limiting how much a player can get paid is a bad idea

When I first heard the term "franchise tag" as a kid I assumed it meant it was reserved for the actual franchise player. It should be for a QB or whoever is the top player on the team and his salary shouldn't count against the cap as much.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
I brought this up in the Raiders thread but on a podcast I was listening to, the guy broke down that unless you have like a top 5 QB, the way to win is have a QB on a rookie deal/low contract and just sign great players around them. I think it's like 85% of the last 20 Super Bowl QB was either on rookie or team friendly deals.

Guys like Dak, Carr, Cousins, Goff, etc...making 40 Million is dumb because they're never gonna be Mahomes or Burrow, no matter what. So spending that much on a QB that isn't elite is foolish

Or every 4 years draft a 1st round QB and just surround the dude with talent.

He wasn't huffing and puffing after Tampa and San Fran. And he gave trent williams one of his worst pff grades of the year. As long as he show up like that in big games he can say what he want

I don't know breh, Parsons looked like he couldn't do shyt against Trent. Don't know what the pff number says but the eye test said he was a brick wall.

I wouldn't cap their salaries, but they should definitely exempt some of their salary.

I'm not saying limit the salary. I'm saying limit how much of the salary actually counts against the cap. So for instance a QB could still get paid $50 million a year but only say they can take up a max of 15% of the cap. So only 35 or 40 of it would count towards the actual cap space. It would still let QBs get paid and teams would've have to compete against each other for how much they pay QBs but it would open up more money for other players on the team.

Honestly, I'm even hesitant to put Burrow in that list as we've yet to see him do it with elite offensive talent around him in the way that Mahomes has had to this year.
